TRY TO REMEMBER
Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh so mellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When grass was green and grain was yellow.
Try to remember the kind of September
When you were a tender and callow fellow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When noone wept except the willow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When dreams were kept beside your pillow.
Try to remember when life was so tender
When love was an ember about to billow.
Try to remember and if you remember
then follow
follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Although you know the snow will follow.
Deep in December it's nice to remember
Without a hurt the heart will hollow.
Deep in December
it's nice to remember
The fire of September that made you mellow.
Deep in December our hearts should remember and follow
follow.

theme: NOSTALGIA
On View at PhotoPlace Gallery, April 6th through May1st.
Artists Reception: April 9th, 5-7 pm
Photography is an art of the instant, of Cartier-Bresson’s “decisive moment.” But it is also an art of past moments—records of slices of time that no longer exist. In this juried exhibition, NOSTALGIA, we were interested in photographs that investigate aspects of past time, memory, and public or personal histories. For example, photographs alluded to the past through process, by using antiquated technologies such as the the through-the-viewfinder technique of using old cameras; through subject, by focusing on objects or people with the aura of long ago; through place, by picturing places that have private or well-known memory associations.
Juror: Larissa Leclair
